Hezbollah threatens Israel but also calls for ceasefire

Israel has been turning up the heat on Hezbollah since it began incursions into the region after killing Hezbollah leaders and commanders, including its veteran secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah last month in the biggest blow to the group in decades.

"The solution is a ceasefire, we are not speaking from a position of weakness, if the Israelis do not want that, we will continue," Qassem said in a recorded speech. "But after the ceasefire, according to an indirect agreement, the settlers would return to the north and other steps will be drawn up."
